Boating access with small craft is also available from the river connecting to Eagle Lake. There is a fixed crest dam at the outlet that prevents boat travel downstream. Potato Lake is a very popular fishing lake in this area and it is known as a good lake for walleye and northern pike. There are good numbers of walleye and pike with some quality-sized fish of both species in this lake. Other game fish include smallmouth bass and largemouth bass.
